Overwhelmed with exasperation, Eva clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her words were not getting through Dustin was ultimately stubborn as well.

She wanted to walk away directly, but she couldn’t do so at all because of the gossipy crowd surrounding them.

“I know, but your husband is a thorough wastrel. I’ll definitely treat you well. I can give you what he can’t! That person isn’t worthy of you at all! I’m thousands of times better than him!” Dustin xclaimed loudly, hoping he could undermine Chris as much as possible.

“Enough! I don’t want to hear you talk anymore! Do you know him? What right do you have to say anything about him?” Eva retorted coldly, full of disdain toward Dustin for thinking that he was thousands of times better than Chris.

Although Chris might not have the same prestigious background as Dustin she still considered him to be the better man.

At this moment, Eva’s eyes widened in surprise as she saw Chris was squeezing through the

    The next day. By the time dawn broke, the entire upper society of Brookyln was swept into chaos due to a fast spreading news. Even this news couldn't escape the ears of the lower class individual which was all thanks to the internet. Eva had finished her morning routine of getting herself ready to got to work. As soon as she arrived at the living room, she was greeted by the sound of her mother’s voice that was eagerly calling her. “Eva, hurry up and come over here. Something big has happened in Brooklyn overnight! It's already all over the Internet.” Kate called enthusiastically as he waved to Eva to come closer while still keeping her gaze fixed under the cell phone. “I don't have time, mom. I need to get to work as fast as possible because there are a lot of tasks for me to take care of today.” Eva whined as she wasn't feeling interested in whatever her mother was referring to. Today, she was personally going to pay a visit to the construction site where the estate was go

    Seeing her best friend, a bright smile made its way to Eva’s face as she walked forward to meet Amanda and hugged her . “I didn't expect that you would arrive before me.” she said. “I left Paris as soon as I finished playing my part in the show. Still, you should have been here before me.” Amanda said playfully in a berating tone Amanda was quite a very popular model. As a result she is always traveling to different countries appearing in fashion shows and sometimes she was even featured in movies. Unlike Eva who was very smart, She was very uninterested in the walter family business. “You could have gone inside instead of waiting for me out here.” Eva proposed as she felt a bit bad knowing Amanda had been waiting for here while she had been so engrossed in her work to notice that time had moved too fast. “As if I would be inside and sit with those hyenas and foxes all by myself without having you by my side.” Eva chuckled at the words Amanda uttered. It was very well kno

    As soon as Eva and Amanda walked inside the room they were instantly surrounded by many of their classmates. “Eva, it's been so long. You are even looking more attractive than when you were back in school!” “Amanda, I watched your recent fashion show. You looked so glamorous.” “Eva, I heard you got married. I'm sorry I couldn't attend the wedding because I had business out of town that weekend.” A few of the male classmates began commenting on that topic. “you didn't even bat an eyelash at me when I pursued you back then.” “I didn’t expect you to get married suddenly. I was upset for a long time!” “It's nice to see all of you too.” Eva replied to there greetings Meanwhile, a young lady was seated at the table with her gaze intently fixed on Eva. A short while later She sneered in disgust, hating the extreme attention that both Eva and Amanda were receiving. It was just a few seconds ago that the spotlight was focused on her but the situation was easily flipped around

    The Clover group was one of the most popular organizations in Brooklyn. A business organization owned by the Landon family, a top tier elite family in brooklyn. Their main business was mostly involved in the entertainment industry but they are also known to run several other businesses like loan agencies, motels, nightclubs and so on. As a result, they had also been involved in several shady businesses that were illegal but there was no eligible evidence to back up this claim. Nonetheless, many of them were unbothered about the Landon family criminal records which haven't been confirmed yet. It was a golden opportunity to meet a scion of one of the top tier families and many of them were already thinking of how to establish a relationship with Jason. In spite of the fact that Cross Corporation might be a subsidiary under Pegasus Enterprise. The obvious truth was that the company status was significantly lesser than the Clover group. No one expected Patricia would have been abl

    The classmates in the room were thrilled after hearing the friendly words that Jason uttered. Unaware of how he truly thought about them as they all assumed that he would really consider doing business with them. “Mr. Landon, I never thought you are very generous! I'm Luke Howard. My Howard family has been trying to cooperate with Clover group for years and so I'll be glad if you give us a chance to discuss our proposal to you.” “Ha!....Ill inform my secretary to set up a schedule and inform you,Mr. Luke..” Jason replied. “Thank you very much.” The person called Luke remarked in excitement. Seeing that one of these colleagues was able to successfully set up a business connection with Jason they also began expressing their interest in collaborating with the Clover group. “Mr. Landon, I'm from the DS industry. we would also like to coperare with clover group.” “The Anderson family would also like to collaborate with the Landon family.” “No worries everyone, I assure that

    Jason was silent for a short moment before he nodded his head in understanding. “As expected, you are very bright, Miss Carter. I didn't think that you would also be thinking about the future outcome as well.” “Thank you, Mr. Landon.” Eva said, silently sighing in relief. “Everyone in Brooklyn has heard rumors about you, Ms. Carter. After meeting you here today, I think you certainly live up to your reputation.I didn’t expect that you were so much more remarkable than you had been described. Thus, I would like to make a toast to our new friendship.” Jason said, picking up his glass and raising it in the air expecting Eva to do the same as well. At this moment, Patricua was displeased and it was evident by her darkened facial expression. There was no way she could endure her lover toasting another woman, especially if that woman was Eva who was her strongest rival. On the contrary, Eva was staring at the filled cup of wine in a perplexed state. She really wanted to avoid drink

    Eva paused for a moment. She knew that Jason was clearly trying to guilt trip her and the consequences would be severe if she didn't comply with Jason 's request. This was supposed to be a reunion gathering but somehow it turned out that Jason became the main character of this event and was in control of everything. “I'm still waiting for you, Miss Carter.” Jason said. Eva was disgusted by the look in Jason's eyes but she had no choice but to put up with it. She grabbed the wine cup in front of her and was about to lift it up but her action was abruptly interrupted when the door of the room was pushed open. Everyone consciously turned her their gaze toward the entrance and they saw a man standing there with a blank expression on his face. Although many of them were unable to recognize the individual as this was her first time coming across this face. However, the save couldn't be said for both Eva and Amanda as they looked at Chris with a fluttered look The two ladies were

    “Isn't that just an excuse for being a husband who leeches off his wife? It is illogical for a man to rely on his wife for financial support.” Patricia said, berating Chris and returned her attention back to Eva. “I think we no longer have to guess the reason why your wife has become a whore who uses her body to achieve her status.” she added in laughter. “Eva, I didn't expect that your standard in men was so low. You shouldn't have brought this trash to the gathering. We all have reputable backgrounds and your husband doesn't cut it to be seated amongst us so he must leave.” “Why? I didn't realize that such an outrageous rule was made for this gathering?” Eva retorted, barely managing to contain the anger as she was still very cautious of offending Jason. Patricia was also very aware of this fact and she was using this to her advantage to oppress Eva as much as she could. She knew that Jason had eyes for Eva and her plan was to humiliate Eva in order to make Jason lose his intre

    “Where have you been all day, Chris?” Kate’s voice rang through the house. “Do you even know what time it is? You think that you can. Just come and go as you please” Chris’s voice was calm, composed. “I had things to take care of, Mother.” “Oh, so you disappear for days, come back whenever you please, and don’t even think to explain?” “I’m sorry, Mother. I didn’t mean to worry you.” Kate scoffed. “Do you even care about this family? About Eva?” Eva clenched her fists. Why did Mom always have to bring me into everything? Chris remained patient. “I do care, Mother. But I had no choice. I had something important to handle.” Kate exhaled sharply. “You better not bring trouble to this house, Christopher.” Chris didn’t respond. He quietly climbed the stairs. Then came the sound of footsteps. Eva barely had time to react before she noticed Chris making his way up the stairs. Her heart pounded. Would he come to her room? Would he apologize? But instead, he walked straight past her

    The golden hue of the setting sun bathed the Cross Corporation building in a soft glow as employees exited the towering glass structure in waves. Eva Carter stepped through the revolving doors, her heart pounding with quiet anticipation. Her gaze instinctively swept across the bustling street, searching for the familiar sleek black car that Chris always parked near the curb. But he wasn’t there. She frowned, gripping the strap of her handbag tightly. Maybe he’s running late. It wouldn’t be the first time Chris had kept her waiting due to work, but he always showed up. Always. Minutes ticked by. First five. Then ten. The occasional rush of a car passing by barely distracted her from the growing tightness in her chest. She took a deep breath, pushing away the creeping unease that threatened to settle. He’ll come. He has to. But when thirty minutes passed with no sign of him, the bitter taste of disappointment curled on her tongue. She felt like a fool standing there, waiting. No ca

    Dexter was also equally confused, he was now sweating in fear but he still tried to regain control. “Mr. Landon, I assure you, this is just a misunderstanding—” Before he could finish, Felix turned and slapped him across the face. The entire room froze. Dexter stumbled, eyes wide in shock. “S-Sir?” Felix’s gaze was ice-cold. “You don’t touch people under my protection.” Dexter’s lips trembled. He had underestimated the weight of Chris’s connections. Chris leaned back in his chair, watching with amusement. “How dare you?....How dare you disrespect Mr.chris?....I’m going to see to it that you no longer have the liberty to conduct any more business in Brooklyn by the time I'm through with you.” Dexter was confused and could only drop to his knees instantly and bow his head in shame as he wondered how Chris was connected to the Landon family. “I'm sorry sir….I'm really sorry sir. I wasn't aware that Mr. Chris was a friend to the Landon family. I would not have acted disrespectfu

    Dexter’s grin faltered for the first time. His eyes darted to his hidden dealer, who subtly signaled that his hand wasn’t as strong as he thought. For the first time, uncertainty flickered in Dexter’s expression. But his pride wouldn’t let him back down. “All in,” he snarled. The dealer flipped the final two cards—King of Spades and a Nine of Spades. Chris had hit a Royal Flush—the highest possible hand. The room erupted into murmurs. Dexter’s face turned pale as he realized he had walked right into a trap. Chris leaned back, crossing his arms. “Looks like I win.” Dexter’s hands clenched into fists. “You… you cheated.” Chris tilted his head. “Cheating? You would know all about that, wouldn’t you?” Ethan chuckled. “Boss, looks like the casino manager isn’t used to losing.” Dexter slammed his fists onto the table. “I won’t let this slide.” Chris’s eyes darkened. “A deal is a deal. You don’t want to go back on your word now, do you?” Dexter ground his teeth. He did expect t

    To be honest, Chris had recognized Dexter the moment they locked eyes with one another. However, he acted otherwise hoping that the situation would become less complicated. “You damn bastard!....I told you we were going to meet again but who would have thought that you would actually dare to come into the casino all by yourself.” “You are getting yourself in this issue just like you did last time we met.” “What do you expect? I can't just stand by and watch your injustice.” “Fine. If you want to do that You want to pay off her debt? Let’s make it fun.” Dexter’s grin widened. “I have seen your fighting skills and I admit that you are good but let's find out if that applies to something else. I suggest a round of poker if you are confident in your skills.” Chris’s gaze didn’t waver. “I don’t play games I can’t win.” “What are the odds of the game?” Let’s make this interesting. Since we both have something at stake, let’s raise the buy-in.” Chris raised an eyebrow. “How much?”

    Moments later, Emma was led into the VIP section. At the far end of the lounge, seated in an opulent leather chair, was Dexter. The casino manager was a bald, heavyset man dressed in a perfectly tailored suit. A cigar smoldered between his fingers, and a smug smirk played on his lips as he regarded Emma. “Well, well,” Dexter drawled, taking a slow drag from his cigar. “If it isn’t the dutiful daughter.” Emma stepped forward, pulling out the envelope of cash. “I’m here to pay my father’s debt. This should cover everything.” With a surprised expression on his face, Dexter leaned forward slightly, taking the envelope with feigned interest. He flipped through the bills before exhaling a dramatic sigh. “This is cute,” he said, tossing the money onto the table carelessly. “But it’s not enough.” Emma’s stomach dropped. “What? That’s the full amount he owed!” Dexter shrugged. “I don’t know what my account manager told you but I presume you are smart enough to do the maths yourself. Th

    Inside the lobby, the atmosphere was refined—polished marble floors reflected the golden glow of ornate chandeliers, and well-dressed guests moved about with an air of sophistication. Chris quickly spotted the woman from earlier—Emma. She was engaged in a heated exchange with the receptionist at the front desk. Her posture was tense, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. Chris approached quietly, his commanding presence drawing immediate attention. “Is there a problem here?” His voice was steady but firm, cutting through the tension like a blade. Emma turned abruptly at the sound of his voice. The moment their eyes met, recognition dawned on her face. “You….” She stated in surprise. “What are you doing here, Mr….?” “Chris….My name is Chris.” Chris gave her a slight nod. “We meet again.” A few weeks ago, Emma’s father had been struck by a car—an unfortunate incident involving Matt Turner, Eva’s cousin. Chris had been the one to rush the old man to the hospital and cover a

    Chris let out a slow breath, controlling the simmering anger beneath his exterior. He had expected Sean to be a problem—an arrogant fool with no self-awareness—but Edward? Attempting to take Eva by force was an entirely different matter. That was an offense that would not go unanswered. He leaned back in his chair, running a hand over his jaw before speaking again. “How did Eva handle it?” Elliot hesitated briefly before responding. “Miss Carter maintained her composure, sir. She did not allow the incident to affect her publicly. However, based on what I gathered from Miss Amanda, she barely slept last night.” Chris’s fingers stilled. He had been halfway across the world while Eva was dealing with this. And yet, when he returned, she had treated him with cold disdain. “Speaking of Eva,” Chris murmured, eyes narrowing slightly. “She was furious with me this morning. I don’t understand why.” Elliot remained silent for a moment before carefully choosing his words. “Mr. Chairman, Mis

    Meanwhile, Chris watched in silence as Eva’s car disappeared down the driveway, her frustration still palpable even from a distance. He stood there for a moment, hands in his pockets, frowning slightly as he replayed their brief interaction in his mind. She had barely looked at him. Hadn’t even given him a chance to explain himself. He sighed, running a hand through his hair before pulling out his phone and dialing a number. It barely rang twice before Ethan’s voice came through the receiver. "Boss?" "Come pick me up at the mansion. We're heading to Pegasus Enterprise," Chris said briskly. Ethan didn’t question it. "On my way." Chris ended the call and turned back toward the house, stepping inside to grab a black coat from the hallway rack. Bruce was in the dining room, silently sipping his coffee while reading the morning paper. The older man barely spared Chris a glance, though there was the faintest glint of amusement in his eyes. Chris ignored it. He wasn’t in the mood for
